Holiday Food Box Packing Fun

Sunday, December 13th will go down as a record day for food boxing at Second Harvest. The 41 volunteers and many staff members packed almost 1,700 food boxes in slightly less than 3 hours.

The holiday food boxes contained ingredients for a holiday meal plus some staple items. A cookbook was included with recipes that could be made from items in the box.

Groups represented were: Itasca Vintage Car Club and the Baha’i Group along with food bank staff members families. Packing ran like clockwork because so many of them have volunteered for this before, some of them for many years. Thanks so much!
